TI is also developing its whisky portfolio, the fastest growing and the largest segment in IMFL. It has re‐launched Senate Royal which will compete with McDowells in specific markets. It has launched a new brand‐ BlackPower in Maharashtra and will soon extend it in the A.P. market.

The stock should outperform the broader market going forward.
